Could anyone recommend a good PHP based Chat room

I am looking to incorporate a chatroom into a site I am building and since I have already installed PHPBB I figured I would also go with a PHP based Chat room. I am not sure however that PHP is the best option for a chatroom because of the resource drain caused by the constant refreshing by chatroom users. Can anyone offer me some advice on the subject.

Thanks in advance and sorry if this is not the correct forum to be asking this question.

Cheers

Sorry for letting this be so late. :)

devArticles has a great MySQL driven Chat Room tutorial: http://www.devarticles.com/art/1/31

Any help building the program, just let me know.
